Patagonia Men's Short Sleeved Self Guided Sun Shirt

Patagonia Men's Short Sleeve Self-Guided Sun Shirt

A purpose-built fishing and outdoor sun shirt loaded with thoughtful details for anglers, guides, and active outdoor enthusiasts who spend long days on exposed water or trail. The Self-Guided delivers UPF 40+ protection, serious pocket organization, and a feature set that shows Patagonia talked to people who actually fish before designing this one.

Why We Carry It
It's the shirt we point anglers and guides to when they want something that handles a full day on the Arkansas without sunburn, soaked pockets, or a lens cloth that's always in the wrong place.

Highlights

• UPF 40+ 100% recycled polyester with mechanical stretch — Lightweight, quick-drying, and sun-protective from the first wear without a treatment that washes out over time. Stretches with casting, rowing, and hiking without binding or restricting movement.
• Four chest pockets including hidden tool dock — Two vertical zip pockets with corrosion-resistant zippers sized for fly boxes, two button-closure pockets for essentials, and a hidden tool dock under the right chest pocket flap. The most organized chest pocket setup in the Patagonia sun shirt lineup.
• Convertible double-layer collar with hidden snaps — Folds flat for casual wear or converts to a stand-up collar for additional neck and face protection on exposed water. Hidden snaps at the collar points keep everything from flapping in the wind when you need coverage.
• Open back and shoulder venting — Strategic airflow across the back and shoulders where heat and moisture build up most on active days. Stays comfortable in steamy summer conditions without sacrificing coverage.
• Integrated lens cleaner at front hem — Sewn directly into an accessible spot at the front hem so you're not searching for a cloth when you need it. A small detail that anyone who wears polarized sunglasses on the water will use constantly.
• Extended hem that stays put — Long enough to stay tucked under a hip pack or wading belt without riding up during casting, rowing, or hiking. Designed specifically for the movement patterns of an active day on the water.
• Fair Trade Certified factory — The people who made this product earned a fair wage premium for their labor.

Best for

Anglers, guides, and active outdoor enthusiasts who spend long days on exposed water or trail and want a sun shirt with the pocket organization, sun protection, and thoughtful details to match their level of commitment to the day. A strong everyday fishing and outdoor shirt for anyone who has outgrown a basic sun tee.
